Can you give me an example of using a > virtual table with selects, joins, and also deletes? Something like this: test=# select * from foo; c1 ---- 1 2 3 4 (4 rows) test=*# delete from foo using (values (1),(2) ) as bla where foo.c1=bla.column1; DELETE 2 test=*# select * from foo; c1 ---- 3 4 (2 rows) values (1), (2) as bla -> returns a 'virtual table' bla with one column column1.
